If I 'install-info foo.info' (using install-info from dpkg-1.10.21 or dpkg-1.13.11), the dir entry lists the node as (foo). If I 'install-info foo.info.gz', the dir entry lists the node as (foo.info). This is not just an aesthetic problem for the dir file, but a functional bug: there is no way to use install-info to remove this (foo.info) node! 'install-info --remove foo.info.gz', the obvious opposite of the install mode fails:
install-info(foo.info.gz): no entry for file `foo'. And also trying to remove "foo.info" and "foo" fail the same way. Either during install the .info extension should always be removed when constructing the dir, or else during remove only the final extension of the passed node-name should be removed. The former is more aesthetically pleasing (in keeping with the texinfo.info Listing a New Info File node). The latter may be the only way to solve this now, since people already have the "broken" dir files present. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks _______________________________________________ Texinfo home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-texinfo
